Why do we study foreign languages? In the world of modern technologies and capabilities, when Google translate can translate huge texts, not only printed, but also dictated, in a matter of seconds. Why do you need independent knowledge? Using one, or better yet several, foreign languages ​​is an indicator of a person’s education and intelligence. It’s so nice when foreigners, making mistakes but trying, address us in our native dialect. Also, learning languages ​​trains memory and develops hearing. The WoMo editors offer you a list of applications with which you can start learning a new language or practice one you already know.

Description:

Application from the famous developer L-LINGO | VOCLAB, which specializes in creating programs for learning various languages. Today I want to talk about the application. As many have probably already guessed, the application is used to teach Japanese. A clear and friendly interface will help you with this, as well as simply a “mountain” of very high-quality material: pictures, words, expressions, pronunciation from native speakers, etc. You can download the program from our website. Although it takes up quite a lot of space, more than 40 MB, it is worth it. Just a couple of hours a day and the results will not be long in coming. Of course, the free version does not contain as much material as the paid version. If you really want to learn Japanese, you will have to purchase the paid version.

Here is a list of just some of the lessons presented in the application:
- Greeting and introduction;
- In an Aeroport;
- Colors;
- In the office;
- Professions;
- Cloth;
- Animals;
- How to ask a question;
- Weather;
- Sports;
- Countries and continents;
- Days;
- Quantity and figures;
- i.d.

Using the application is quite simple. First you study words and pronunciation, then you test yourself with fairly well-thought-out tests.

The application from the developer L-LINGO is excellent as always. With him, the result will not be long in coming. On a 5-point scale, the application deserves the maximum score. I hope this program will bring the desired result when learning Japanese. Thank you for your attention.

Finally, yesterday our application became available for download in the App Store. So, screenshots:

As an exercise, type words using the following katakana or hiragana characters:

This game contains 10 color pictures with hieroglyphs.

The Workbook contains 20 basic lessons - everything you need to express yourself in Japanese at a basic level.

Example lesson:

After studying 20 lessons, you will become an advanced student, then to express your thoughts in advanced Japanese, you will need 63 magic phrases from the section Structures.

Complete it with your own words (it’s convenient to copy from an online dictionary). So, your dictionary will contain only the words you need, and not everything in a row.

You can add words, phrases, sentences. This is your notebook.

Learn to understand Japanese by ear by listening to the radio. The list includes music and talk stations. I can say that Amine Nfo the coolest thing

We have our own club

If you are ready to practice the Japanese language, make mistakes and learn, and are not blinkered “it will be difficult to relearn later,” register in our community. Over time you will have Senpai and Kohai, and learning the language will become more fun. Senpai will help you, and you will help your kouhai

The Community website has a fierce anti-spam plugin installed that rejects every tenth person, so if you can’t register, send your request to be added (a text field will appear for this), I will transfer you to the white list, and after some time try to register again. Or leave your email in that field, then I will register you manually.

RSS

Follow updates directly from the application so you don't miss anything.

The application is not about which of the three words corresponds to the picture with a strawberry, so it is suitable only for those who want be able to speak, read and write Japanese. You can download it for free, then you will have access to Anime Tarot 10, Omikuji 10, Radio And RSS.

Registration in the Community is free for now, but I do not exclude the possibility that it will become paid. I like the idea of ​​a closed club “only for our own people”, in order to preserve its quality, but if we don’t have trolls, spammers and other inappropriate people, there will be no point in introducing a paid access. In any case, existing users will not be affected by this if they were active or purchased the full version.

The full version costs only 8999r.

The app is called Hayabachi (早蜂). Download from itunes via the link (or https://site/go/888/).
